Urgent Quaker Call with concern for US democracy August 18 7:30 EDT

For anyone who has missed news of the multi-organization Quaker Call of concern about the future of our democracy, please take a look.


August 18, 7-9 PM EDT Register Here quakercall.net.

An “Urgent Call to the Religious Society of Friends” concerning the current extensive threats to U.S. democracy. This Call was prepared by a group of nineteen Friends led to speak out against the lies, extremist movements, and anti-democratic actions that are the opposite of Quaker understandings of integrity and Truth.

 

Accessibility note: the link above will take readers to a page to sign up for a Zoom session with worship sharing in breakout groups and efforts to collect the Light brought by participants in breakout rooms. There are links for various pieces of background.


Even though the text of the call can be seen on the Read the Call page many readers who want to read the call will be happiest first clicking on the Read the call link and then clicking on the Download the PDF link. This tip is also a polite way of saying RantWoman's screen reader could not find the text of the call until she clicked on the Download link.


RantWoman also wonders whether other Friends besides RantWoman may be called to respond to the query "What is missing from this call?"
